Ambivalent -~-TordEdd Fanfic [OLD]

Chapter 4

 ~+Tord's POV+~

That night, I didn't get that much sleep. I was too worried. Honestly, I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready to spend basically the rest of my life away from my parents. I wasn't ready to be considered an adult. I wasn't ready for any of the big responsibilities that now rested on my shoulders.

I just wanted to be back home, in Norway. I wanted to be back with my girlfriend, who helped me through my never-ending pit of homework and tests. Honestly, if I could've chosen if I wanted to go to college or not, I would've just not gone at all. My parents and all my friends knew how much I hated school... 

I mean, most people also hate school though, I guess.  At this point, I felt like I'd never fall asleep, as my mind was rushing with thoughts, not allowing me to just deal with them in the morning.

Eventually, though, I was able to fall asleep. Even if I did only get a few hours of sleep, I was glad I could wake up somewhat refreshed in the morning. It would suck if I just went to school, and collapsed during my first class, or just in the middle of the hallway. In fact, I remember that happening once...

~*Flashback*~

(Once again, dialouge is spoken in Norwegian since this flashback takes place in Norway)

It was a bright May morning in Norway. The mountains were still capped with snow, like always, and the fjords were beautiful, like they normally were. Although, at the moment, I was too tired to pay attention to this. My parents had been arguing for the past week, and every night I'd be up, worrying about what might happen. Both of my parents were rather violent when it came to arguing between them. 

Everything about this kept me up in general. From their loud yelling to all my worries and my mind which was constantly racing with thoughts. I barely slept because of this, and nobody really seemed to notice.

Except for once person, who just so happened to be my girlfriend. I'll admit, she's a bit clingy, but that meant that she'd always notice if something was bugging me or if I seemed off.

This time was no exception. Every day I'd be bombarded with the same "Tordie, is there something wrong?" type of question. 

Today, I was the most tired i'd been the whole week. So, I was obviously stressed, tired, unfocused, and easily angered. This time, when my girlfriend asked me if I was alright, I quickly turned to her and just snapped.

"Shove off, Laurel! I've told you, I'm doing just fine!" I yelled, storming off. I just left her standing there as I quickly walked to school, stressed. Honestly, I felt guilty, but I was too stressed to do much about it. 

The second I entered the school's campus, I knew something would obviously go wrong today.

I was walking to my first class when I stumbled, falling back against the wall. I knew the whole 'not-being-able-to-sleep' thing was starting to affect me pretty badly. I'd turned in two assignments late, and I'd gotten pretty pissed off at two people for the stupidest reasons. At this point, I could just close my eyes and fall asleep, but my parents would KILL me for falling asleep at school, so I just uprighted myself and started walking to class again. 

The second I sat at my desk, I could already feel the drowsiness taking me. Everything was darkening, and I was falling asleep ever so slowly. I was about to close my eyes when I felt someone pinch my arm. I scowled, turning to my left. 

"Pat, I just want to sleep..." I whispered to Pat, who was one of my friends. 

"Tord, you'll get in trouble! You can sleep at lunch, just, not now," Pat replied, whisper-shouting.

I just sighed, trying to keep my eyes open. In all honesty, I wasn't sure what my teacher was even doing. Listening is too tiring at this point. My desk was tipping over, but I really didn't feel like doing anything about it. Slowly, once again, everything darkened, and I felt myself falling forward as my desk started to fall over. 

When my head hit my desk, it felt more like finally crawling into bed and putting your head on your pillow after a long day, rather than almost cracking your skull completely open and being in a coma for a day. 

When I woke up, I was in a hospital. A nurse looked over at me, before quickly rushing out of the room and returning with my parents.

"Jesus Christ.... What happened?" I asked, sitting up and rubbing the back of my head, which was covered in bandages.

"You fell asleep in class and hit your head pretty hard," My mom replied.

"See? I told you the desks were rock hard! No normal school desk would've caused that!" I yelled, triumphantly.

~*End of Flashback*~

Ah... memories... I remembered so much from that day... except for what happened while I was in a coma, I obviously didn't remember that.

Let's hope it doesn't happen again

------------------------

Haha, I took so long to get this chapter out and it's not really that good- I'm hoping the next chapter will be a bit better, but then again, I wrote most of this at night and I was really fucking tired... Anyways, most of the book will be through the eyes of Tord and Edd (When he's introduced), although, I will still be doing it through the eyes of a few other characters so you can kind of see the other sides of the story(?)

Anyways, that's it for now--
